***POLL*** Which was last Generations' best game (from this list)?

[QUOTE="Emerald_Warrior"][QUOTE="bigM10231"]it wasnt the first sandbox game.bigM10231

nice catch......though it in turn was inspired by the 2d GTA games.

But I'm guessing it had an impact on the direction of GTA III

2-way tie for first!

But plenty of time for any game on this list

Metroid Prime wins.Litchie

Well, after 100 votes it does lead by the narrowest of margins

I voted for GTA as San Andreas is my favourite in the series.

KOTOR. I can't stand any of the other games.Loco_Live

ouch, none of them?

I personally liked em all except for KOTOR ive never played it

Out of those, I guess I'd have to say Metroid prime.

But I wasn't really too fond of any of them...

Interesting....which games did you like last generation?

It would be Half Life 2 if we only had those to choose from.

But all games considered, it's Tales of the Abyss, no contest.

I probably wouldn't agree with that if its like GC's Tales of Symphonia, which is a game I liked alot but fell short of being great to me.

out of the list i've only beaten vice city, RE4, and HL:2, yet i've played GTA3, san andreas and metroid

I got far into Metroid Prime but than got to a point where i had to super back track so i quit

Im goin with RE4 (Cube version) for best game

[QUOTE="WitIsWisdom"]

Well, everyone is entitled there own opinion, and just because you play as the same character doesn't mean that it is within the same boundaries. It is a good game in its own right, but it does not hold true to the metroid style gameplay. There is a huge differance with side scrolling third person and 3D first person. Saying it holds true to the formula is like saying Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the same as Dynasty Warriors, because you can play as the same characters. I realize I am going a little deep with this poll, but Prime was a letdown in my opinion even though I was prepared. Where as it set a bar for new metroid games to revolve around a new style of gameplay I feel as though they used the Metroid name to sell more copies. The same game being releasedusing othernames could have possibly flopped... just saying.

Are these your personal favorites from last gen consoles?

AFBrat77

No, as i feel my fellow PC gamers would tell you from my Polls there, I try to be as unbiased as possible.

These are probably the most critically acclaimed games of last generation (I'm starting the generation upon the release of PS2, not the Dreamcast, the reason Soul Calibur, Deus Ex, or Planescape Torment aren't here) with one exception: Halo.

Actually in a sense a couple of these games are......Prime and HL2 are indeed my favs from last generation but i doubt hardly anyone feels they don't deserve to be here.

As for why halo isn't on here, I wished to have games from several different genres, so....

GTA = free-roaming Action game

Half-Life 2 = FPS

Knights of the Old Republic = RPG (Final fantasy X and BG2: Shadows of Amn were considered)

Metroid Prime = Action Adventure (with a first-person perspective)

Resident Evil 4 = 3rd Person shooter (hmmmm......just barely wanders into Survival Horror)

I decided to place HL2 on here instead of Halo, and I have played both.....if only one is on here, HL2 should be that one.

i think you should've replaced either RE4 or Metroid Prime with Ninja Gaiden All of those games feel like action/adventure games in their own right. Maybe it's because I felt RE4 and NG didn't feel like they had levels the way they had chapters, and to me the chapters in both those games felt somewhat open and explorable though both game were pretty linear, nowhere near how explorable metroid prime is. and Ninja Gaiden just kicks ass and isn't really that hard if you're not and idiot and know how to use the games controls (still dont know why a lot of people moan over the camera)krunkfu2

I wouldn't replace Metroid Prime with any game, so it would have had to have been RE4, and I couldn't see doing that either, not even for Ninja Gaiden Black.

KotOR would have been the closest to being replaced if I had done that.

With 6 options Ninja Gaiden or the original God of War would have been there.

Metroid Prime beats Resident Evil 4 by the tiniest of tiny smidges.

[QUOTE="Valkyriareaper1"]

Nothing more to say.

benleslie5

Me too, Vice City was the best in the GTA series.

Very tough, but I'm gonna go with KOTOR just over HL2 :)

Oh btw AF I spend most of my time in the General Games section of the forum, but I'm here...of course I've only been a member of the site for like a month but still :)

welcome aboard!

I prefer Metroid Prime but this poll doesn't seem to be very fair, single games going against a series, and one that was multi plat too!?? how could you say something like do you like pizza/steak/chinese food? or mexican? or japanese? or burgers? or greek?

It's fair enough, these 3 GTA games all have pretty much the same basic structure and gameplay (which makes your analogy false, a better one would be linguini/sphagetti/rigatoni vs burgers vs burritos vs sushi or something like that, the 3 Italian dishes are closely related and vary mostly in their presentation).

I originally made this Poll for System Wars, but it works here too.....in fact I would suspect a higher number of people on here play more than one platform than those on SW do.

Note: This poll absolutely does not include GTA IV!

Sure, I could put GTA III (the groundbreaker) on the list alone, but was it the best of the 3? PC gamers will usually say Vice City is the best, I suspect PS2 gamers will say San Andreas. Its difficult to simply put just one on the list, coupled with the fact that the differences are mostly just time, place, and a few more features.

Right you seem to get my point, but I'd still say the 2 Metroid Primes are pretty similar but not as similar as those.

I suppose you could vote for Echoes if you actually consider it better than the original and the other games listed.

It was similar to the original for sure, but I believe only a small minority think it was better than the original game.

Fun poll. For me GTA3 was like video gaming instantly changed, it was like nothing I'd ever played before. I kept thinking (& telling people) there's a whole little world going on in there for you to interact with. It was amazing!Next came Vice City & it got better (better stories, better play-ability, better atmosphere- fricken Ray Liota voicing the main character). And then there was San Andreas. Everything GTA3 & Vice City did, San Andreas improved upon. San Andreas is easily one the best video game experiences I have ever had, simply because of how good of a game it is. And it isn't even one on my most favorite games (overall gangland USA & thug lifestyle kinda bore me).

Between GTA & RE4,I have to say GTA (any of the games in the series)are better games. I have played all of them & I really like RE4 (considering buying a Wii just to play RE4 on it), but GTA is just better.

However I cannot vote in your poll because I haven't played any of the other games (never had an Xbox & don't play PC games). And I think it is a little foolish/naive to say something I have experienced is better than something I haven't experienced.

Well said and thought through, and thanks for the positive response to my Poll

GTA still in the lead.....but only 16 votes separate the top vote-getter from the bottom.

GTA:SA. I spent hundred of hours playing that game. Aside from the story there was SO much to do. I wish that IV was more like SA.

My vote goes to GTA:SA

Metroid Prime. Metroid fans must play it.RoslindaleOne

agreed.....Prime is gaining ground in this Poll as well.

GTA maintaining that lead....

Wow, that's close :shock: But out of the games listed, I chose MP for its awesomeness.

grad isais or whatever its called on the poll because idk the rest but i googled them or saw the previews before and the looked soo dumb xD

especially resident evil its such a man game i could never play that (i'm a girl obviously :D)

well i wish you guys put soul calibour 3 everyone i know loved that game and they are very different gamers then me i just like it because of the cool dressup game part and where there's hot babes and a hot guy (nightmare is very hot to me for some reason) xD

interesting post on a Friday night :P (well here in Eastern US)......

anyhow I wouldn't quite put Soul Calibur 3 in with these games.

I'm not overly-crazy about any of those games except Metriod Prime, which I made the tying vote on ;)

Gee, what a narrow list. Half Life 2 is probably the best out of the bunch, though all of these games (especially RE4) are overrated.reifresca

did you know are allowed only 5 options......I don't think any of these games are overrated anyways.

Now if I put Halo up there....
